I like NB because of the extendability - lots of people develop modules for the NB Platform (you can also easily create your own). For example, the Sun Java Studio Creator is just NB with some added modules.

But can't I also develop plugins to Eclipse? I thought plugins in Eclipse were doing the same thing as a modulo in NetBeans? Are there much different in their approaches?

Don't know :-/

I don't know why I like NetBeans better either...I did some stuff in Eclipse, and then I saw NetBeans, and I started using NetBeans...To be honest, I can't give any specific supporting details regarding which IDE is better.

As IBM Websphere Application Developer is an extended version of Eclipse. The drawback on WSAD is: It is not pure Java, there are some DLL files bundled. So far I had no luck to get it running on Mac OS X
